Your Privilege and Your Duty
On Tuesday, August the eighth, there will be a primary-
election and again we will have an opportunity to express our
wishes at the polls. How many of us will take advantage of
this opportunity?
Think for a moment of the number of suffering people in
the world who would pay most any price for such a privilege.
No doubt there are many millions who pray each day and
ask God that they may have peace and that in somje manner
or other things will be so arranged that they may have a
voice in governments—a privilege which we so thoughtlessly
abuse.
Also remember that our own forefathers fought, and many
lost their lives in the supreme effort to achieve freedom of
thought, of speech, of religious worship and a voice in government.
Most of the ills of our country are the result of our own
negligence at the polls and not in our form of government.
You wonder why incompetent men are elected. Maybe you
left it up to the other fellow to do the voting and his knowledge and judgment were not as good as yours.
While there are not many offices in this primary election,
every one is important. It is your privilege and your duty i,o
vote. Remember the date, Tuesday, August 8.
Lives Needlessly Sacrificed
A human life is a sacred thing. It is something whose
value cannot be measured in material things, and which, once
destroyed cannot be replaced by human effort.
With these thoughts in mind one recalls with dismay how
carelessly some lives are lost. Man has invented mechanical
things which have backfired and cost more in human lives
than they aided in material profits. He has also changed natural objects which in turn have reversed themselves and became death traps. But inventive genius has not stopped
there. The human mind has also created machinery which
will aid in restoring life to failing organisms. The pulmotor
is one of these last mfentioned machines
A simpler way using the same principle as the pulmotor is
artificial respiration. It is surprising that with the knowledge
of this simple life saving method available to everyone, very
few people know when or how to use it. Lives are not easily
snuffed out. The human heart is the most perfect instrument
which has ever been known. When a man is apparently dead
the heart may still be struggling for life, however faintly.
With outside help to continue that heartbeat, full life may be
restox'ed.
Artificial respiration has long since proved its value as a
life saver in cases of drowning, electrocution, smothering,
and fires. The only trouble with the whole system is that it
is not used nearly often enough. Carelessness in not using
the measure when needed or ignorance in not knowing the
system is still costing countless human lives. Until every
citizen realizes the value of human life and learns how to
protect it the newspapers will continue to carry accounts of
persons killed under tragic circumstances which very easily
might have been averted.
Vacationists Back at Work
With the majority of the employees back at work after
a two week vacation period North Canton again hums with
activity though there are still many who started their vacation this week.
The common sight of streaming crowds emerging from the
Hoover company at the noon hour and again at quitting time
is very much in evidence. No longer is there a strange quietness about the community but instead the long lines of cars
denoting that the fun is over until next year and the task
of providing thei? daily bread is again foremost in the minds,
of everyone.
It was a joyous time for everyone as they answered the
urge to visit far away places in search of recreation such as
fishing, sightseeing, camping, and what not. Of course, many
stayed right here at home rather than tiring themselves out
traveling.
No doubt for the first few days, stories of the various
trips were going the rounds wherever a group happened to
congregate. This is true of one group in particular; those
who made the two week's trip through the east including a
stop at the World's fair.
Everyone who made this trip reported a very good time
and lots of fun even though a couple were plagued with car
trouble. With the exception of two nights, the entire group
composed of young men and women, "roughed" it, sleeping
in tents and preparing their own meals.
Their itinerary included stops at Gettysburg, the Fair,
Boston, Salem, West Point, sightseeing in New York city
taking in Radio City, Rockefeller center and other places of
interest. Their camp life was lots of fun and two young men
ran into a litle difficulty one morning by sleeping just a little
bit later than they should. It seems they went down to the
river or lake to take an early morning plunge but when they
came back they found their tent was gone. That left them
with the problem of dressing in the open but they worked
everything out vei-y satisfactorily.
The World's fair seemed to be the greatest attraction for
others who did not take in the guided tour. Others found
the sunny climes of the south more to their liking. Others
hied to the "wilds" of Michigan, Wisconsin and Canada in
pursuit of fish, while others, mostly the so-called weaker sex,
spent their time at Lake resorts enjoying the recreation facilities of those places.
To those who have come back we hope they have had a
very enjoyable time and to those who are just starting out,
may their time be free from trials and tribulations such as
flat tires, sunburn, etc.

Rites For Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Morgan and Infant Son Are
Held Saturday; Cause of
Fatal Fire Undetermined
Funeral services for Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Morgan and their six
week old son, Paul Jr., victims of
a fire which swept their home in
Avondale late Wednesday evening
were held Saturday.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Morgan-and
their son were trapped in a second
floor bedroom by flames discovered
by occupants of a passing car less
than an hour after members of the
household had retired for the night.
Lawrence Nelson, brother of
Mrs. Morgan, his son, Lawrence
Jr., aged two and a half years, and
Mrs. Nora Cherry of North Canton,
housekeeper, escaped. Mr. Nelson,
awakened by the housekeeper's
screams, picked up his son from a
crib and jumped to the ground
from a second story bedroom window.
Mrs. Cherry was carried to safety down a ladder brought from the
nearby home of Howard Shearer.
Investigators believed the fire
either to be caused by a cigaret or
a short circuit in the solarium
where the flames are believed to
have started.
Rescue Attempts Futile
Attempts to rescue Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan and their son failed as the
intense heat and fumes forced
would-be rescuers back. Mr. Nelson
broke the glass in the front door,
severely cutting his right hand and
wrist, and tried to get up stairs
but failed.
The ladder was taken to the
front of the home and Mr. Nelson
again tried to enter the room in
which the trapped victims were
sleeping. He sought to protect himself by wrapping wet blankets a-
bout him but the heat from the
flames were so intense that he was
nearly overcome.
Firemen from Raff road station
were first to arrive with pulmotor
and gas mask. Fireman Lee Doer-
schuk, made two attempts to enter
the upstairs room but each time
was driven back even though he
was wearing a gas mask. Firemen
finally restrained all rescue attempts until the flames raging below were brought under control.
After the blaze was checked, firemen reached the second floor by
means of the stairway. Mrs. Morgan was found dead from suffocation in a bathroom which leads off
one corner of the bedroom. The
baby was found in its crib, also
suffocated.
Mr. Morgan was found on the
floor at the foot of the bed, apparently overcome as he was.attempt-
ing to get out of bed.
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan were taken to Aultman hospital in the Whitticar ambulance
and the baby in a private car and
all were pronounced dead upon arrival.
Mr. Morgan is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B,
Morgan, 1913 Tuscarawas street E.
Mrs. Morgan's only survivors are
a sister, Mrs. Edwin Roush, residing at 1303 7th street NW, and her
brother, Lawrence Nelson.
No One Injured in Accident
Sunday Afternoon
Double trouble was the lot of
Frank C. Woods of Akron Sunday
afternoon when his car went into
a skid near the Deuble residence,
jumped over the curb and snapped
off a telephone pole.
Besides the damage to his car
he was also assessed a fine of $5
and costs for driving with improper
license tags when a check-up was
made by the investigating officers,
Marshal Ray A. Bachtel and officer
John Kaufman.
Woods reported that another car
cut in ahead of him forcing him to
apply his brakes, resulting in the
skid. At the time of the accident
it was raining and the road was
very slippery.
While the officers were at the
scene another car coming over the
hill also went into a skid when the
driver saw the officers and applied
his brakes. Fortunately there were
no cars coming from the opposite
direction or there would have been
a worse accidpnt Bachtel reported.
The accident was reported to the
telephone company and the pole
was replaced the same day.

Walt Kolp was richer by forty-
one cents Tuesday evening when
swimmers scoured the bottom of
the Community pool in search of
coins tossed in by Willis H. Wood
as the annual penny diving night
was held.
Kolp's total represented' a new
record for the amount recovered,
the previous high being thirty-one
cents brought up two years ago
Junior McCue had around twenty
cents to his credit as did Handy
Wolf.
A total of $2.50 was dispersed
with ten nickels being numbered
among the coins, the balance being
pennies. The swimmers were divided into divisions according to ability in order to make certain that
rail were given a chance to recover
coins.
The event in the deepest portions
of the pool provided the most entertainment since this was devoted
to the advanced swimmers. With
about 25 or 30 congregated in a
group, noisily treading water and
yelling for coins to be tossed their
way, the minute a coin hit the
water a mad scramble resulted,
sometimes the coin being recovered
before it hit bottom and other
times going to the bottom where
immediately five or ten swimmers
would be battling for it.
A few showed a little craftiness
by waiting on the edge of the low
diving board and then dropping off
the edge whenever a coin landed
in that vicinity. In that way, several were found before they could
hit bottom.
Watermelon Hunt
On Thursday evening the annual
watermelon hunt was staged amid
much fun as eight boys and girls
came up from the bottom clutching
a large ripe melon which didn't
last but a few minutes after they
reached shore.
As in Tuesday night's event the
swimmers were segregated according to ability and each group was
forced to leave the pool while the
melons were hidden somewhere
along the bottom. Each melon was
placed in a sack and weighted with
a brick.
At a signal, there was a mad
rush for the pool and much splashing and spluttering as they searched the bottom for their prize.
As soon as a melon was brought
to shore, it almost resulted in a
riot as the winner was beseiged
witli requests to share with all his
or her pals. Jimmy Smiley, who
found the last melon, was really
the lad who took a beating. Carrying his melon into the bathhouse,
he sat down and started to cut it up.
That was the last seen of him for
the next five minutes as boys
crowded around four deep and
those who couldn't get near hung
by their toes from the rafters overhead trying their hardest to get a
chunk of melon. Jimmy finally
emerged from the mixup with the
smallest piece.
Those who retrieved melons were
Eleanor Holt, Jean King, Elaine
Wolf, Marilyn Storch, Bill Nodle,
Frank Burkholtz, Bill Braucher, I
and Jimmy Smiley.

Lake Serves as Hosts
Plain and Canal Fulton
Lake Grange was host to a large
number of patrons from Plain and
Canal Fulton granges Thursday
evening at the regular meeting
held in Uniontown.

meeting the visitors took charge of
the program and presented musical
numbers, readings, dramatic skits
and varied numbers.
Refreshments of ice cream, cake
and coffee were served after the
program.

Fishing Expert Gives Exhibi
tion Friday Morning
Local sportsmen were given a
chance to learn how to handle a
fishing rod when Bill Ackerman,
traveling under the sponsorship of
the Canfield company, stopped in
North Canton at the Dickerson
Service station on Friday morning.
His car loaded dow;i with all
kinds of fishing equipment, Acker-
man assembled several casting rods
and two fly rods and gave pointers
on their correct use to several interested anglers.
Stressing accuracy above all plus
a smooth rhythm in making casts,
he served as instructor during the
time of his stay as fisherman tested their accuracy by attempting to
hit a target placed about 15 yards
away. Some showed a marked degree of skill in this department
while others found themselves occasionally looping the line over
nearby power lines.
Many deserted the casting to
learn more about the delicate handling of the fly rod. Here it was
found that the most important
thing to be remembered was to
achieve a sense of timing and rhythm. After mastering the fundamentals it was found that fly casting is in reality not as complicated
as it would seem to the casual
spectator.

Await Final
Approved Plans
Reformed Church Committee
To Name Campaigners
Building and finance committees
of Zion Reformed church are waiting for the final approved blueprints from the architects on the
proposed remodeling of the church
building.
The church membership is being
kept informed of developments
through a series of letters sent out
by those in charge.
The campaign to raise necessary
finances will start early in the fall
and a committee to choose the
campaigners is now at work and
the announcement will be made in
the near future.
The proposed plans call for the
extension of the auditorium south
and a new addition to be constructed above the present Sunday-school
rooms.
Double funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon in Union-
town Grace Reformed church for
Mr. and Mrs. Manius G. Buchman,
who, together, met violent death
Thursday afternoon, when their car
was struck by a truck at the public square.
The Rev H. Voss was in charge
assisted by the Revs. W. S. Adams
of Akron and S. V. Rohrbaugh of
Canal Fulton. The church, auditorium, class rooms and basement
were crowded as friends and relatives paid their last respects.
At the time of the tragic accident which claimed their lives,
Mr. and Mrs, Buchman, aged 76
and 74 respectively, who would
have celebrated their 54th wedding
anniversary November 17, were
attempting to make a, left hand
turn towards their home.
Kenneth Hardest, 26 of Canton,
driver of the truck stated that "the
car seemed to leap right in front
of me. I jammed on the brakes
but my track skidded right into
it."
Killed Instantly
The impact hurled Mrs. Buchman out of the car to the pavement
crushing her skull while Mr. Buchman was later extricated from the
wreckage of the automobile which
was knocked about 30 feet. Both
apparently were instantly killed.
Following the crash the truck
continued across the intersection,
snapped off a water pump, crashed into the back of a parked car
and finally came to a stop in a
jacknifed position with front
wheels jammed up against the
curb.
Deputies who investigated the
accident were of the opinion that
Mr. Buchman, in making the turn,
and suddenly seeing the track bearing down upon him, may have jammed the accelerator instead of the
brake in his excitement.
Mr. and Mrs. Buchman had resided in Uniontown for 27 years and
were active members of Lake
Grange and Grace Reformed church.
Survivors are two daughters,
Mrs. Clara Moore of North-Canton and Mrs. Grace Graham of
Akron; two grandchildren, Grace
Helen and Jean Moore. Mrs. Buchman leaves a sister, Mrs. Minnie
Swinehart, a brother, Norman Raber, both of Uniontown. Mr. Buchman j.°' also survived by two brothers, Wesley of Greensburg and
Clark of Akron.

"House of Jewels" Intrigues Local Group
By Thelma Earl
Once upon a time a gang of kids
met at the Y. M. C. A. in Canton,
Ohio. The MASLINE-d up in front
of the cars and BUSS and left after Mr. Briner had GIVENS them
orders. It was a RUBRIGHT morn-
ing and everyone was wild with enthusiasm since it had been the first
time that many of them had been
to New York.
The first day went along perfectly except for the fact that the
bus was always about a half hour
behind. It was quite late when we
got into Gettysburg and we certainly did justice to our supper of
hamburgers. We had a lesson in
putting up tents. It wasn't long be
fore the --iris were yelling, "WILL
AMAN please help me with these,"
So the fellows said, "HESS, we'll
help you."
It was rather chilly that night
and when the flap of the tent blew
open the WINIFELD pretty COE-
ld and a number of the girls
though they would FREEZE to
death. I guess they wouldn't have
minded a little FURNEY-ess heat
or wished perhaps they had
BRONG more blankets along.
The next morning, after having
breakfast, we had devotionals. Mr.
Spalz, a friend of Mr. Briner's,
gave us a talk from the book of
Psalms and we had Edna REED
from the Bible. After that some of
the kids went through the battlefield and guides gave them some
splendid pictures of that great
WARburton. The day was beautiful and those who were in the bus
including yours truly had SLUTZ
of fun singing, acting the FOHL
and watching the scenery. Probably
many of them wished they could
have been FORSTERS and watched the pines, oaks, maples, and
McCHESNEY't trees grown from
"TINY" SEEDERLYS that had
been planted in a HOLL.
However, we did have a little
trouble with cars. Ruth's car broke
down and Johnny HALTER car 35
miles. So naturally it was quite
late before they got into Hacken-
sack. We wasted no time in eating,
washing up, and getting to bed.
The next morning we left on a
special bus trip for New York
City. We were quite hilarious and
after kicking "Old Nellv in the
Belly in the Barn" for at least 50
times, I wouldn't be surprised if
the bus driver heaved a sigh of
relief and muttered under his brea
th "I'm SICKAFOOSE kids and
that crazy song."
We were soon stationed at our
respective hotels. The girls at the
Martha Washington anil the fellows at the Sloan House. That afternoon we saw the Queen Mary
with her mammoth WHITE bull.
I'm afraid that most of us HAN-
NA secret desire of someday taking a trip on her snacious deck
but there is only a slight RAY of
hope that such a thing will ever
happen to any of us.
When we got back, we ate at
the Sloan House and then went
through Rockefeller center. We
viewed the city from the tower
and came to the conclusions that
if we would fall we would HURST
ourselves pretty badly. The next
day we spent at the fair-. It was
grand and all the girls tried to
keep up with the JONES' by seeing everything that everybody else
saw but before the day was half
over 99 per cent of them had "world's fair feet."
One of the most exciting experiences was the "House of Jewls."
They were ALBRIGHT and worth
over four million dollars. It seems
amazing that there could be any
number of people who could BYERS of so precious a collection.
The perisphere with its revolving
platform was marvelous and one
aREEVES at the end of this drama
much too soon.
The Russian building with its
magnificent architecture afforded
us an excellent revelation of Russia. There they HOFFMAN personified with his BRAUN-y arms and
smiling face. The Russian wife has
always seen with HERMAN at her
side.
The French building had beauti
ful Paris creations and they were
so beautiful it reminded me of
Longfellow's "The Last Snow fall,"
when he said, "the trees wore ermine too dear for an EARL."
Wednesday we took our bus trip
around New York city. We saw J.
P. MORGAN'S home and had a
HUTCHISON liked the money his
father left him. We drove down the
"bowery" and visited Grant's tomb
(not in the Bowery). It was our
expectation to get on board the
Queen Mary but it was too close
to sailing time. The afternoon we
had to ourselves and met everybody shopped and spent their hard
earned money.
Friday morning we got up after
having only a few hours sleep and
gave back our KIEFABER hotel
and left New York for Hackensack
where we had our lunch. That afternoon the gang went to West
Point where tlie cadets are every
inch gentlemen. The girls didn't
get EVANS-o much as a nod from
any of them. Enough of that. "Who
wants a cadet anyway?"
We arrived in camp rather early
and after eating our supper many
of us went swimming and even
though the girls wore their bathing caps they were wet to the
GILBERT they didn't care. The
kids arose early the next morning
and got an early start for Plymouth, Mass. Along the way there
were mills where the old MILLER
used to grind his wheat and there
were poor districts where it wasn't
hard to tell that many families had
an awful time "keeping the
WOLFE from the door." We stopped rather often along the way
and filled up with CLARK bars,
ice cream cones, pop and also gasoline.
We arrived in Plymouth in the
evening and the rock was quite a
disappointment but Betty SATTLER self down on it. Saturday, Sunday and Monday we spent at Salem
and vicinity. Mr. Herman gave us
marvelous meals and when it was
nearly time for meals we would
simply HUMPHERY our supper.
We took a boat ride on a fishing
sloop and it gave us quite a lot of
excitement to be out on the
BRINE-r deep. There was a great
deal of fog though, and we couldn't see very far ahead of us. Sunday afternoon while we were gone
there were ROBERTS in our tents.
They didn't take anything but they
sure left the place in a turmoil.
While we were in Salem we had
our hottest weather and the TEP-
FER-ture was very high in the
daytime but low at night.
From there we started home.
We camped at very picturesque
spots. At Pittsfield there were all
sorts of bugs in our tents, ants,
grasshoppers, and SNYDERS but
we got along beautifully with
them.
Now we are back at the Y and
every last one of us wouldn't mind
taking the trip again next week.

On Tuesday, August the eighth, there will be a primary-
election and again we will have an opportunity to express our

Most of the ills of our country are the result of our own

You wonder why incompetent men are elected. Maybe you
left it up to the other fellow to do the voting and his knowledge and judgment were not as good as yours.
While there are not many offices in this primary election,
every one is important. It is your privilege and your duty i,o
vote. Remember the date, Tuesday, August 8.
Lives Needlessly Sacrificed
A human life is a sacred thing. It is something whose
value cannot be measured in material things, and which, once
destroyed cannot be replaced by human effort.
With these thoughts in mind one recalls with dismay how
carelessly some lives are lost. Man has invented mechanical
things which have backfired and cost more in human lives
than they aided in material profits. He has also changed natural objects which in turn have reversed themselves and became death traps. But inventive genius has not stopped
there. The human mind has also created machinery which
will aid in restoring life to failing organisms. The pulmotor
is one of these last mfentioned machines
A simpler way using the same principle as the pulmotor is
artificial respiration. It is surprising that with the knowledge
of this simple life saving method available to everyone, very
few people know when or how to use it. Lives are not easily
snuffed out. The human heart is the most perfect instrument
which has ever been known. When a man is apparently dead
the heart may still be struggling for life, however faintly.
With outside help to continue that heartbeat, full life may be
restox'ed.
Artificial respiration has long since proved its value as a
life saver in cases of drowning, electrocution, smothering,
and fires. The only trouble with the whole system is that it
is not used nearly often enough. Carelessness in not using
the measure when needed or ignorance in not knowing the
system is still costing countless human lives. Until every
citizen realizes the value of human life and learns how to
protect it the newspapers will continue to carry accounts of
persons killed under tragic circumstances which very easily
might have been averted.
Vacationists Back at Work
With the majority of the employees back at work after
a two week vacation period North Canton again hums with
activity though there are still many who started their vacation this week.
The common sight of streaming crowds emerging from the
Hoover company at the noon hour and again at quitting time
is very much in evidence. No longer is there a strange quietness about the community but instead the long lines of cars
denoting that the fun is over until next year and the task
of providing thei? daily bread is again foremost in the minds,
of everyone.
It was a joyous time for everyone as they answered the
urge to visit far away places in search of recreation such as
fishing, sightseeing, camping, and what not. Of course, many
stayed right here at home rather than tiring themselves out
traveling.
No doubt for the first few days, stories of the various
trips were going the rounds wherever a group happened to
congregate. This is true of one group in particular; those
who made the two week's trip through the east including a
stop at the World's fair.
Everyone who made this trip reported a very good time
and lots of fun even though a couple were plagued with car
trouble. With the exception of two nights, the entire group
composed of young men and women, "roughed" it, sleeping
in tents and preparing their own meals.
Their itinerary included stops at Gettysburg, the Fair,
Boston, Salem, West Point, sightseeing in New York city
taking in Radio City, Rockefeller center and other places of
interest. Their camp life was lots of fun and two young men
ran into a litle difficulty one morning by sleeping just a little
bit later than they should. It seems they went down to the
river or lake to take an early morning plunge but when they
came back they found their tent was gone. That left them
with the problem of dressing in the open but they worked
everything out vei-y satisfactorily.
The World's fair seemed to be the greatest attraction for
others who did not take in the guided tour. Others found
the sunny climes of the south more to their liking. Others
hied to the "wilds" of Michigan, Wisconsin and Canada in
pursuit of fish, while others, mostly the so-called weaker sex,
spent their time at Lake resorts enjoying the recreation facilities of those places.
To those who have come back we hope they have had a
very enjoyable time and to those who are just starting out,
may their time be free from trials and tribulations such as
flat tires, sunburn, etc.

Rites For Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Morgan and Infant Son Are
Held Saturday; Cause of
Fatal Fire Undetermined
Funeral services for Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Morgan and their six
week old son, Paul Jr., victims of
a fire which swept their home in
Avondale late Wednesday evening
were held Saturday.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Morgan-and
their son were trapped in a second
floor bedroom by flames discovered
by occupants of a passing car less
than an hour after members of the
household had retired for the night.
Lawrence Nelson, brother of
Mrs. Morgan, his son, Lawrence
Jr., aged two and a half years, and
Mrs. Nora Cherry of North Canton,
housekeeper, escaped. Mr. Nelson,
awakened by the housekeeper's
screams, picked up his son from a
crib and jumped to the ground
from a second story bedroom window.
Mrs. Cherry was carried to safety down a ladder brought from the
nearby home of Howard Shearer.
Investigators believed the fire
either to be caused by a cigaret or
a short circuit in the solarium
where the flames are believed to
have started.
Rescue Attempts Futile
Attempts to rescue Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan and their son failed as the
intense heat and fumes forced
would-be rescuers back. Mr. Nelson
broke the glass in the front door,
severely cutting his right hand and
wrist, and tried to get up stairs
but failed.
The ladder was taken to the
front of the home and Mr. Nelson
again tried to enter the room in
which the trapped victims were
sleeping. He sought to protect himself by wrapping wet blankets a-
bout him but the heat from the
flames were so intense that he was
nearly overcome.
Firemen from Raff road station
were first to arrive with pulmotor
and gas mask. Fireman Lee Doer-
schuk, made two attempts to enter
the upstairs room but each time
was driven back even though he
was wearing a gas mask. Firemen
finally restrained all rescue attempts until the flames raging below were brought under control.
After the blaze was checked, firemen reached the second floor by
means of the stairway. Mrs. Morgan was found dead from suffocation in a bathroom which leads off
one corner of the bedroom. The
baby was found in its crib, also
suffocated.
Mr. Morgan was found on the
floor at the foot of the bed, apparently overcome as he was.attempt-
ing to get out of bed.
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan were taken to Aultman hospital in the Whitticar ambulance
and the baby in a private car and
all were pronounced dead upon arrival.
Mr. Morgan is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B,
Morgan, 1913 Tuscarawas street E.
Mrs. Morgan's only survivors are
a sister, Mrs. Edwin Roush, residing at 1303 7th street NW, and her
brother, Lawrence Nelson.
No One Injured in Accident
Sunday Afternoon
Double trouble was the lot of
Frank C. Woods of Akron Sunday
afternoon when his car went into
a skid near the Deuble residence,
jumped over the curb and snapped
off a telephone pole.
Besides the damage to his car
he was also assessed a fine of $5
and costs for driving with improper
license tags when a check-up was
made by the investigating officers,
Marshal Ray A. Bachtel and officer
John Kaufman.
Woods reported that another car
cut in ahead of him forcing him to
apply his brakes, resulting in the
skid. At the time of the accident
it was raining and the road was
very slippery.
While the officers were at the
scene another car coming over the
hill also went into a skid when the
driver saw the officers and applied
his brakes. Fortunately there were
no cars coming from the opposite
direction or there would have been
a worse accidpnt Bachtel reported.
The accident was reported to the
telephone company and the pole
was replaced the same day.

Walt Kolp was richer by forty-
one cents Tuesday evening when
swimmers scoured the bottom of
the Community pool in search of
coins tossed in by Willis H. Wood
as the annual penny diving night
was held.
Kolp's total represented' a new
record for the amount recovered,
the previous high being thirty-one
cents brought up two years ago
Junior McCue had around twenty
cents to his credit as did Handy
Wolf.
A total of $2.50 was dispersed
with ten nickels being numbered
among the coins, the balance being
pennies. The swimmers were divided into divisions according to ability in order to make certain that
rail were given a chance to recover
coins.
The event in the deepest portions
of the pool provided the most entertainment since this was devoted
to the advanced swimmers. With
about 25 or 30 congregated in a
group, noisily treading water and
yelling for coins to be tossed their
way, the minute a coin hit the
water a mad scramble resulted,
sometimes the coin being recovered
before it hit bottom and other
times going to the bottom where
immediately five or ten swimmers
would be battling for it.
A few showed a little craftiness
by waiting on the edge of the low
diving board and then dropping off
the edge whenever a coin landed
in that vicinity. In that way, several were found before they could
hit bottom.
Watermelon Hunt
On Thursday evening the annual
watermelon hunt was staged amid
much fun as eight boys and girls
came up from the bottom clutching
a large ripe melon which didn't
last but a few minutes after they
reached shore.
As in Tuesday night's event the
swimmers were segregated according to ability and each group was
forced to leave the pool while the
melons were hidden somewhere
along the bottom. Each melon was
placed in a sack and weighted with
a brick.
At a signal, there was a mad
rush for the pool and much splashing and spluttering as they searched the bottom for their prize.
As soon as a melon was brought
to shore, it almost resulted in a
riot as the winner was beseiged
witli requests to share with all his
or her pals. Jimmy Smiley, who
found the last melon, was really
the lad who took a beating. Carrying his melon into the bathhouse,
he sat down and started to cut it up.
That was the last seen of him for
the next five minutes as boys
crowded around four deep and
those who couldn't get near hung
by their toes from the rafters overhead trying their hardest to get a
chunk of melon. Jimmy finally
emerged from the mixup with the
smallest piece.
Those who retrieved melons were
Eleanor Holt, Jean King, Elaine
Wolf, Marilyn Storch, Bill Nodle,
Frank Burkholtz, Bill Braucher, I
and Jimmy Smiley.

Fishing Expert Gives Exhibi
tion Friday Morning
Local sportsmen were given a
chance to learn how to handle a
fishing rod when Bill Ackerman,
traveling under the sponsorship of
the Canfield company, stopped in
North Canton at the Dickerson
Service station on Friday morning.
His car loaded dow;i with all
kinds of fishing equipment, Acker-
man assembled several casting rods
and two fly rods and gave pointers
on their correct use to several interested anglers.
Stressing accuracy above all plus
a smooth rhythm in making casts,
he served as instructor during the
time of his stay as fisherman tested their accuracy by attempting to
hit a target placed about 15 yards
away. Some showed a marked degree of skill in this department
while others found themselves occasionally looping the line over
nearby power lines.
Many deserted the casting to
learn more about the delicate handling of the fly rod. Here it was
found that the most important
thing to be remembered was to
achieve a sense of timing and rhythm. After mastering the fundamentals it was found that fly casting is in reality not as complicated
as it would seem to the casual
spectator.

Await Final
Approved Plans
Reformed Church Committee
To Name Campaigners
Building and finance committees
of Zion Reformed church are waiting for the final approved blueprints from the architects on the
proposed remodeling of the church
building.
The church membership is being
kept informed of developments
through a series of letters sent out
by those in charge.
The campaign to raise necessary
finances will start early in the fall
and a committee to choose the
campaigners is now at work and
the announcement will be made in
the near future.
The proposed plans call for the
extension of the auditorium south
and a new addition to be constructed above the present Sunday-school
rooms.
Double funeral services were
held Sunday afternoon in Union-
town Grace Reformed church for
Mr. and Mrs. Manius G. Buchman,
who, together, met violent death
Thursday afternoon, when their car
was struck by a truck at the public square.
The Rev H. Voss was in charge
assisted by the Revs. W. S. Adams
of Akron and S. V. Rohrbaugh of
Canal Fulton. The church, auditorium, class rooms and basement
were crowded as friends and relatives paid their last respects.
At the time of the tragic accident which claimed their lives,
Mr. and Mrs, Buchman, aged 76
and 74 respectively, who would
have celebrated their 54th wedding
anniversary November 17, were
attempting to make a, left hand
turn towards their home.
Kenneth Hardest, 26 of Canton,
driver of the truck stated that "the
car seemed to leap right in front
of me. I jammed on the brakes
but my track skidded right into
it."
Killed Instantly
The impact hurled Mrs. Buchman out of the car to the pavement
crushing her skull while Mr. Buchman was later extricated from the
wreckage of the automobile which
was knocked about 30 feet. Both
apparently were instantly killed.
Following the crash the truck
continued across the intersection,
snapped off a water pump, crashed into the back of a parked car
and finally came to a stop in a
jacknifed position with front
wheels jammed up against the
curb.
Deputies who investigated the
accident were of the opinion that
Mr. Buchman, in making the turn,
and suddenly seeing the track bearing down upon him, may have jammed the accelerator instead of the
brake in his excitement.
Mr. and Mrs. Buchman had resided in Uniontown for 27 years and
were active members of Lake
Grange and Grace Reformed church.
Survivors are two daughters,
Mrs. Clara Moore of North-Canton and Mrs. Grace Graham of
Akron; two grandchildren, Grace
Helen and Jean Moore. Mrs. Buchman leaves a sister, Mrs. Minnie
Swinehart, a brother, Norman Raber, both of Uniontown. Mr. Buchman j.°' also survived by two brothers, Wesley of Greensburg and
Clark of Akron.

"House of Jewels" Intrigues Local Group
By Thelma Earl
Once upon a time a gang of kids
met at the Y. M. C. A. in Canton,
Ohio. The MASLINE-d up in front
of the cars and BUSS and left after Mr. Briner had GIVENS them
orders. It was a RUBRIGHT morn-
ing and everyone was wild with enthusiasm since it had been the first
time that many of them had been
to New York.
The first day went along perfectly except for the fact that the
bus was always about a half hour
behind. It was quite late when we
got into Gettysburg and we certainly did justice to our supper of
hamburgers. We had a lesson in
putting up tents. It wasn't long be
fore the --iris were yelling, "WILL
AMAN please help me with these,"
So the fellows said, "HESS, we'll
help you."
It was rather chilly that night
and when the flap of the tent blew
open the WINIFELD pretty COE-
ld and a number of the girls
though they would FREEZE to
death. I guess they wouldn't have
minded a little FURNEY-ess heat
or wished perhaps they had
BRONG more blankets along.
The next morning, after having
breakfast, we had devotionals. Mr.
Spalz, a friend of Mr. Briner's,
gave us a talk from the book of
Psalms and we had Edna REED
from the Bible. After that some of
the kids went through the battlefield and guides gave them some
splendid pictures of that great
WARburton. The day was beautiful and those who were in the bus
including yours truly had SLUTZ
of fun singing, acting the FOHL
and watching the scenery. Probably
many of them wished they could
have been FORSTERS and watched the pines, oaks, maples, and
McCHESNEY't trees grown from
"TINY" SEEDERLYS that had
been planted in a HOLL.
However, we did have a little
trouble with cars. Ruth's car broke
down and Johnny HALTER car 35
miles. So naturally it was quite
late before they got into Hacken-
sack. We wasted no time in eating,
washing up, and getting to bed.
The next morning we left on a
special bus trip for New York
City. We were quite hilarious and
after kicking "Old Nellv in the
Belly in the Barn" for at least 50
times, I wouldn't be surprised if
the bus driver heaved a sigh of
relief and muttered under his brea
th "I'm SICKAFOOSE kids and
that crazy song."
We were soon stationed at our
respective hotels. The girls at the
Martha Washington anil the fellows at the Sloan House. That afternoon we saw the Queen Mary
with her mammoth WHITE bull.
I'm afraid that most of us HAN-
NA secret desire of someday taking a trip on her snacious deck
but there is only a slight RAY of
hope that such a thing will ever
happen to any of us.
When we got back, we ate at
the Sloan House and then went
through Rockefeller center. We
viewed the city from the tower
and came to the conclusions that
if we would fall we would HURST
ourselves pretty badly. The next
day we spent at the fair-. It was
grand and all the girls tried to
keep up with the JONES' by seeing everything that everybody else
saw but before the day was half
over 99 per cent of them had "world's fair feet."
One of the most exciting experiences was the "House of Jewls."
They were ALBRIGHT and worth
over four million dollars. It seems
amazing that there could be any
number of people who could BYERS of so precious a collection.
The perisphere with its revolving
platform was marvelous and one
aREEVES at the end of this drama
much too soon.
The Russian building with its
magnificent architecture afforded
us an excellent revelation of Russia. There they HOFFMAN personified with his BRAUN-y arms and
smiling face. The Russian wife has
always seen with HERMAN at her
side.
The French building had beauti
ful Paris creations and they were
so beautiful it reminded me of
Longfellow's "The Last Snow fall,"
when he said, "the trees wore ermine too dear for an EARL."
Wednesday we took our bus trip
around New York city. We saw J.
P. MORGAN'S home and had a
HUTCHISON liked the money his
father left him. We drove down the
"bowery" and visited Grant's tomb
(not in the Bowery). It was our
expectation to get on board the
Queen Mary but it was too close
to sailing time. The afternoon we
had to ourselves and met everybody shopped and spent their hard
earned money.
Friday morning we got up after
having only a few hours sleep and
gave back our KIEFABER hotel
and left New York for Hackensack
where we had our lunch. That afternoon the gang went to West
Point where tlie cadets are every
inch gentlemen. The girls didn't
get EVANS-o much as a nod from
any of them. Enough of that. "Who
wants a cadet anyway?"
We arrived in camp rather early
and after eating our supper many
of us went swimming and even
though the girls wore their bathing caps they were wet to the
GILBERT they didn't care. The
kids arose early the next morning
and got an early start for Plymouth, Mass. Along the way there
were mills where the old MILLER
used to grind his wheat and there
were poor districts where it wasn't
hard to tell that many families had
an awful time "keeping the
WOLFE from the door." We stopped rather often along the way
and filled up with CLARK bars,
ice cream cones, pop and also gasoline.
We arrived in Plymouth in the
evening and the rock was quite a
disappointment but Betty SATTLER self down on it. Saturday, Sunday and Monday we spent at Salem
and vicinity. Mr. Herman gave us
marvelous meals and when it was
nearly time for meals we would
simply HUMPHERY our supper.
We took a boat ride on a fishing
sloop and it gave us quite a lot of
excitement to be out on the
BRINE-r deep. There was a great
deal of fog though, and we couldn't see very far ahead of us. Sunday afternoon while we were gone
there were ROBERTS in our tents.
They didn't take anything but they
sure left the place in a turmoil.
While we were in Salem we had
our hottest weather and the TEP-
FER-ture was very high in the
daytime but low at night.
From there we started home.
We camped at very picturesque
spots. At Pittsfield there were all
sorts of bugs in our tents, ants,
grasshoppers, and SNYDERS but
we got along beautifully with
them.
Now we are back at the Y and
every last one of us wouldn't mind
taking the trip again next week.
